You and Russ have been inseparable since middle school, and it was no surprise when you both ended up at the same high school. Everything seemed perfect, especially with Russ fronting a band and performing intimate shows in his basement for you and a few close friends. As his feelings for you deepened, Russ poured his heart into his music, hoping to make you laugh, flirt with you, and maybe even win you over. What he didn’t see was you starting a relationship with his best friend. Jessie.

The news shattered Russ. The pain of seeing his best friend and secret crush together was almost too much to bear. After months of struggling with his emotions, he decided to channel his heartache into his music. In the school gym, he practiced fervently, strumming his guitar and pouring out his feelings.

"Jessie is a friend. Yeah, I know, he's been a good friend of mine, but lately, something's changed that ain't hard to define. Jessie's got himself a girl, and I want to make her mine..."

He played a melancholic riff on the guitar, his voice tinged with longing

"Yeah, and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night. You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl. I wish that I had Jessie's girl. Where can I find a woman like that?"

His voice trembles with anger as he sings the next lyrics "You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute. I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot"
